AN EXTENDED TOUR.

A Journey Through the Wild West Con-
templated by President and Mrs. Cleve-
land.
PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-The Bulletin's
Washington special says: "There is every
reason to believe that the promise which
the President recently made to the St Louis
delegates that he would, if he could, visit
their city next fall will be kept, and that
the visit to that city will only be compar-
atively small feature of a great and exten-
sive trip which he has been planning
and the arrangements for which will be
consummated on his return to the White
House. The President has seen but little
of the United States. He has during his
lifetime travelled but little outside of the
State of New York. He has never been in
the West at all, but he has made up his
mine of late that it will be to his advantage
to make an elaborate journey this year.
'It was on the contemplation of such a
trip as this that Mr.. Cleveland made his
promise to the St Louis delegation. The
fact is that he intends to go a great deal
farther in the direction Of the setting of
the sun than St. Louis. II the President
can make his arrangements he will
leave this city in the first week of
August and will probably remain
away until the 1st OF October.
He will travel in special
car containing the members of his imme-
| diate household and two or three Cabinet
| officers. The intention is to go clear across
| the continent to the Pacific coast. The
| principal cities on the line of the route will
| be visited in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Minnesota
"The President is curious to explore the
| Territories along the line of the Northern
| Pacific railroad, and it is now on his plan
/ to 60 as far as Portland, Ore. Indeed, it is
said he would very much like to steam up
| the Pacific Ocean as far as Alaska, although
he has been told that this would be con-
strued as violation of the precedent which
permits no President to go outside of the
country during his term of office. Whether
trip on the ocean from one part of the
| country to another would really be such a
violation is point which the President
has not yet made up his mind to concede.
If he does concede this, however, 1t is
probable that Mrs. Cleveland will make
the trip while the President with Mr.. La.
mont spends ten days in camping out in
! the Yellowstone region.

The Sabbath in Paris.

The French positively refuse to re-
cognize Sunday as day of rest. The
French workman seems to identify the
breach of the Sabbath with self-respect
and vindication of liberty. He will
refuse to work for an employer who
makes it a condition that he does not
work Sunday. A church has been
known to be kept waiting for neces-
sary repairs-a roof that let in the rain
because the cure would not consent
to have the men working Sunday, and
the men would not give in ON the point
The first of the great business houses
to close Sunday was the Bon Marche,
and it was predicted that it would soon
become bankrupt; but the Bon Marche
held on its way, and in this case virtue
earned its own reward, and no house
of the kind has ever fourished, proba-
bly,, as that popular shop has done.
The large shops in Paris are now closed
Sunday and the majority of the smaller
ones. But the workingman proper
holds out. He holds to the principle of
working Sunday and resting Monday.

Republican Decadence.

The Albany E1press (Rep.) questions
the correctness of the Evenfmg Posts
reference to 'the decadence of the Re-
publican party" and says that "a
party which is constantly increasing
its vote. as the Republican party has
done ever since its organization. is not
on the road of 'decadence,' in proof
of which it cites the fact that Blaine in
1884 received 400, 600 more votes than
Garfield in 1880. But this is only half
of the case. The other half is that
while Garfield had 535. 1000 more votes

WORKING up A BOOM.
Tho Delightful Programme Arranged b

Tho Delightful Programme Arranged by
Maine's Plumed Knight.
It seems that all Mr.. James G.
Blaine's health needs is voyage
across the Atlantic. It is expected
that the salt ocean breezes will tone up
his system to endure the political
squalls of the next eighteen months
and that the boom he will get by cable
will be moro efficacious with politicians
and voters than any manipulation pos
sible from Bar Harbor. To this end it
is given out that Mr.. Blaine and his
factotum, Joe Manley, ex-postmaster
of Augusta, Me-, will sail for England.
The only health seeking part of the
trip will be that on shipboard. When
the party lands at Liverpool the man
ayers of the circus will have arranged
spontaneous outpouring of the peo-
pie to welcome the only genuine
plumed knight of American dubbing
who ever sought those monarchist
shores. His journey from Liverpool
to London will be voluntary ovation
all along the line.
In the metropolis Mr.. Blaine will be
invited to eat at Democratic dinners
and to speak at home-rule meetings.
OF course the matter of his public ut
terances will be made as offensive to
English ears as possible in order to
arouse the bitterest criticism, which will
be promptly cabled to the New York
Tribune to show the brutal manner in
which ..bloody Britons'' handle a ia
vorite son of Maine. When the indig.
nation of the English public has been
sufficiently aroused AMI this country
has been narrowed with the reports oi
frequent attempts to mob Mr.. Blaine
he will shake the dust of London from
his feet and cross the channel to Ire
land.
Before doing SO, however, Mr.. Blaine
will meet Gladstone, and, having fall
en- on his neck, the grand old man
will be chained to the plumed knights
chariot wheel for triumphal tour O
the Green Isle. No effort will b.
spared to induce Mr.. Parnen to &C
company Mr.. Blaine on his tour
Should this combination be effected il
is expected that the aggregation viii
produce nothing short of convulsior
in Ireland, the mere vibration of which
will awaken the widest enthusiasm
for Mr.. Blaine among Irish-Ameri
cans.
This is very delightful programme
to be sure. And there can be no doub
that it will land Mr.. Blaine in tn
White House if all the Irish voters il
America turn Republicans and all WIN
are Republicans now vote for Mr
Blaine. But there is an ominous shadoy
of doubt in that If. '-Chicago Neaos

AN OLD-TIME TRICK.
Republican Party Lies Which Have No
foundation WhataHaF.

FOun0otlOn "notoVoEs
The desperate attempts being made
by certain Republican journals of the
country to show that there is strong
antagonism growing up between Pres
ident Cleveland and Governor Hill as
opposing candidates for the Presiden-
cy are growing to be extremely anus
ing.
1t seems to be taken for granted by
these wiseacres that both of these
gentlemen are couple of school-boys,
one with threatening attitude and the
other with chip on his shoulder stand
ing off ready for fight, and it never
seems to strike them that the course
which up to the present time has been
pursued both by the President and
Governor Hill is sensible and digni-
fed one. worthy of the high positions
which they both fill.
1t is an old-time partisan trick to
magnify the petty quarrels of obscure
politicians in the opposite party into a
widespread factional fight and to
charge the same upon conspicuous
leaders, and where the fury of the par
ticipants in the petty fight does not
lend arms for strife they are ready to
be supplied by mendacious representa-
tives of the opposition, SO it is not
strange to see that which is in reality
composing of party differences in the
Democratic politics of New York con-
torted into an evidence of a wide
spread party revolt
Let these Republican prognostica-
tors possess their souls in patience,
there isn't the slightest danger that
either President Cleveland or Cover
nor Hill will be guilty of any political
foolishness which will give the Repub-
licans even a fighting chance to carry
New York in the Presidential contest
